MTL - Why is the Bright Moon Shining?-Chapter 18
When the car drove to the door of the store, only to find that Xu Can's favorite roast duck restaurant had closed. It was closed earlier than the night market.
When the two discussed changing to something else to eat, the phone rang.
Tong Mingyue pulled over to park and answered the phone first.
"Hey."
"Daughter, why haven't you come home yet? I sewed up your dad's mouth with needles and threads, and I promise not to urge you to find someone..."
Tong Mingyue's phone volume is normal, but Zhang Guangyao on the other end likes to use the speakerphone to increase his voice.
A voice broke the silence in the car through the phone.
He also talked a lot.
Tong Mingyue hurriedly pressed the volume button to lower her voice, and glanced at Xu Can, she seemed a little stunned when she met her.
He whispered embarrassingly: "It's not real sewing, don't be afraid..."
I don't know how to explain.
Xu Can was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to cover his mouth and laughed.
"Um…"
On the day of the call, Ms. Zhang Guangyao swore unsurely, "It's really sewn! It's solidly sewn, so you can rest assured that I'm back, my daughter, and the meal is ready. When will you arrive?"
"Don't tell me that you have something to do outside now, if you have the ability, you can bring me back tonight with someone!"
"If it doesn't work, it's rare to have such open-minded parents. If you don't hurry up, why don't you come back and let your mother serve you? Whoever is a girl won't go home? The meal is ready, so it doesn't seem like you don't come back? Bye."
Tong Mingyue only had time to: "...Hello?"
beep...
The phone was hung up, Tong Mingyue sighed in her heart.
"…"
To Xu Can's innocent eyes.
Tong Mingyue hesitated for a while, then tentatively said, "Do you want to go home for dinner with me?"
Xu Can only heard the first sentence on the phone, and Tong Mingyue's two hellos. Hearing this, his eyes widened unexpectedly, what happened?
How did this happen?
"I definitely don't want to go, right?" Tong Mingyue smiled immediately, wanted to call back, and told her family that she would go back tomorrow.
"No…"
Xu Can blurted out: "I think so."
"You want to go?"
"Um."
Tong Mingyue: "Do you really want to go?"
Xu Can was cheeky and nodded firmly.
Tong Mingyue smiled and reluctantly stuffed the phone back into his pocket, holding the steering wheel.
"Okay, let's go then."
Backed up and turned, then changed direction.
Completely changed destination.
Xu Can then became nervous, looking at the night scene outside the window, he couldn't smile too much.
While chatting, when Tong Mingyue said that her parents were also professors, Xu Can couldn't tell whether she was less nervous or more nervous.
Although she was quite liked by professors as a student, she was completely unfamiliar with such a typical high-intellectual family.
Tong Mingyue probably saw that she was nervous.
Along the way, there are some things, and I want her to relax.
…
Tong Mingyue's home is not far from the school.
In fact, halfway through the drive, Xu Can silently knew where the destination was. She used to fool Guo Xiaoya to help her. When the student council was busy making materials, she secretly used the computer of the Youth League Committee to secretly check the basic materials of the teachers.
There is information on Tong Mingyue's ID card, and the home address is his parents' home.
Although she won't do anything, she completely recites it.
Tong Mingyue asked, "Have you been to this area before?"
Xu Can cautiously lowered his head, shook his head and said, "No, but knowing that the museum is nearby, I really want to go."
"That…"
She originally wanted to say that she took her there after dinner, but remembering the closing time, she changed her mind and said, "Let's go next time."
Xu Can curled his lips in response.
If you like her casually, say goodbye next time.
—
Tong Mingyue took Xu Can home and knocked on the door.
Zhang Guangyao didn't expect that she really brought someone with her. With big bright eyes, tall, thin and fair, she looks like a fairy, and she doesn't look like her own daughter's friend by her age.
"Who is this…"
Tong Mingyue said, "My student." Without further explanation.
Xu Can was busy calling people in a proper manner.
Zhang Guangyao smiled immediately, the curvature of the corners of his lips raised a bit like Tong Mingyue: "Come in, child."
The similarities made Xu Can instantly feel good about her.
"Old man, hurry up and cook two more dishes," Zhang Guangyao turned his head to the kitchen, raised his voice and said, "There are guests here."
"what?"
The sound of cooking in the kitchen stopped, and under the click, the sound of gas turning off the fire.
The next second, the old professor wearing a blue cartoon cat pattern apron came out tatata. The person hasn't arrived yet, and the tone is cold and a little unkind: "Did you really bring someone here?"
When he walked around the entrance, he saw Xu Can standing beside Tong Mingyue.
Tong Mingyue then told her father again: "My student."
"Oh," said Professor Tong Lao with a soft tone and a polite smile on his face. "Sit and sit, the dishes will be ready soon."
Then turned around and strode back to the kitchen.
Xu Can was led by Zhang Guangyao and brought to the living room to sit down.
"Are you hungry? Eat something to make a cushion." Zhang Guangyao brought the food next to him and put it in front of Xu Can, instructing Tong Mingyue to say, "Go and find out the project document last time, I don't know where it is hidden, it will hurt you. I've been looking for your dad for a long time."
"It's in the study."
Tong Mingyue just left, Zhang Guangyao turned his head to see what was still missing on the coffee table, and stood up: "I'll pour some tea, you eat first."
Xu Can: "Auntie is not busy!"
Zhang Guangyao smiled and said, "I don't have anything to drink, it's ridiculous."
Xu Can sat alone in front of the coffee table, looking at all kinds of beautiful fruits in front of him, all of which were pitted and mixed with dried fruits in bottles. She reached for a hard-boiled egg that should be the easiest to eat.
Crushed and crushed, peeled the shell next to the trash can.
Looking around, it is a very simple and romantic home, looking empty with only a few basic pieces of furniture. But there are pale gray cushions on the bay window, and books are on a wooden shelf. There is a feeling of just right.
Zhang Guangyao held the wooden tray in his hand, put it down, and said, "No, I shouldn't bring tea, the little girl likes to drink, right? There is coconut milk at home, do you drink it? Or do you like to drink Sprite Coke? Bubbly?"
Xu Can hurriedly said, "It's okay, I just like drinking tea, thank you auntie."
"Hey," Zhang Guangyao put the tea cup in front of her, holding the pot upside down, very graceful and unhurried, "Little girls drinking tea are rare now."
Seeing that she was holding the half-peeled egg in her hand, she smiled again.
"The child is so smart that he can peel eggs by himself."
Xu Can: "?"
Her hands that peeled eggs stopped.
Looking up at the smile on the old lady's face, she laughed too, anyway, a smile can never be wrong.
"She's smart," Tong Mingyue walked over holding the teacup, sat down and said leisurely, "But it's not your praise, Mom."
"What kind of compliment is that?"
Zhang Guangyao asked Xu Can, "Can you peel carrots?"
Xu Can: "Well, I will..."
"Look," Zhang Guangyao clasped his palms and said to Tong Mingyue, "Is he better than your teacher?"
Tong Mingyue: "…"
She held the teacup, and stood up as soon as she sat down: "I'll go see how long it will take Dad to cook."
Xu Can: "…"
She found out that the master of the house was not the old father who looked a little fierce, but this gentle and kind old lady.
It turns out that Tong Mingyue is not good at housework?
It shouldn't be, she looks so virtuous. Xu Can exerted the highest acting skills in his life, without laughing, and instead naturally chatted with the old lady about household chores.
Of course, the more you know about the details of her life, the better.
Zhang Guangyao was also very happy to chat, and it didn't take long for him to shake out all the things about Tong Mingyue's childhood: "Fierce, many little boys in the class have been beaten and cried by her. Get angry, call back."
Xu Can couldn't help laughing: "Really?"
She couldn't believe it, she thought Tong Mingyue would grow up well-behaved.
"Once her dad watched her fight and was still applauding, but it made me mad. But it would be better if I grew up a little bit. I guess it's because it's not too good to win fights. I understand how to restrain..."
…
Tong Mingyue came out of the kitchen and saw the two people in the living room who were chatting happily. Although she felt that it would be better if she walked away, it was hard to say that her mother would not spoil her image in any way.
After thinking about it, I'm still ready to go.
"You are still young, so don't be in a hurry to learn to fall in love with the people around you," the old lady was holding Xu Can's hand and muttering kindly, "The first two years were still important to study, and other things will come later. .Not in a hurry."
Tong Mingyue came over and said, "Well."
Zhang Guangyao turned his head and glanced at her when he heard the words, and said strangely, "What did you promise?"
Tong Mingyue: "…"
